A new coding-focused LLM, Ripple-65B Preview, boasts a two-million-token context window, achieved through a hybrid attention mechanism. This architecture utilizes sliding attention for most layers, allowing for efficient processing of large contexts, while a smaller portion handles full attention for generation. Benchmarks on consumer hardware like RTX 3090s show ingestion speeds of over 1,000 tokens per second, but generation remains significantly slower, around 20 tokens per second. This asymmetry makes the model suitable for tasks involving large context ingestion, like overnight batch processing, rather than rapid, interactive generation. AI
IMPACT The hybrid attention architecture could influence future LLM designs, balancing context window size with generation speed for specific use cases.
